:Product: 0924RSGA.txt :Issued: 2009 Sep 24 2200 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity SDF Number 267 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Sep 2009 IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. Region 1026 (S29E28) produced a B1 x-ray flare at 24/0020Z. This region remains an H-type spot group. Region 1027 (N24E05) continues to grow slightly in area and spot count and remains unchanged in its magnetic beta configuration. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. There is a slight chance for an isolated C-class event. IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 23/2100Z to 24/2100Z: The geomagnetic field was quiet. IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet for day one (25 September). Quiet to unsettled levels, with isolated active conditions, are expected for day two (26 September). This activity is expected due to a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to return for day three (27 September). III. Event Probabilities 25 Sep-27 Sep Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF green IV.
